Cloth diapers and the like

Yesterday we (mainly I) received two packages in the mail. The first was my diaper bag I debated what kind I wanted and ended up getting one from Vera Bradley yes it was expensive but once I am done with the bag as a diaper bag it will double as a bag for me. While everything in the bag may be for my child the bag itself is all for me.

The second package that arrive yesterday was the first half of our diaper stash. Yes, we've decided to cloth diaper. And while I am aware that there is a little bit more worked involved with the prepping and washing of cloth diapers it seemed worth to me and to us to pay a little more upfront for long lasting diapers. Basically for $200 I'll be getting a stash of diapers that should last up to potty training with disposable diapers you can easily add another 0 that total. Of course my situation is one in which I will have the time to stay on top of the diaper laundry. The ones we have are from alvababy.com and appear to be perfect. I played with them last night practicing stuffing them and snapping them into the different sizes. They are adorable and I can not wait to use them on the little one. My current favorite is the red winter diaper for our winter baby.






The highlight of my evening though was sitting in the glider in the nursery listening to Dash snore at my feet and imagining what it will be like in 6 months when Monkey is here.
